5 Great Healthy Snacks To-Go

Many people often ask me what healthy snacks they should eat.  The answer to this question often varies by person depending on your health, allergies, and nutritional needs.  I decided to make a list of my most favorite snacks for you and your kids.

1. Nut and Seed Trail mix.  I like to use raw walnuts, almonds, pumpkin seeds, Nori rice crackers, pecans, dried blueberries and coconut pieces.  Mix together and put into snack sized containers.  This is both healthy, high in antioxidants and proteins and tastes great.
2. Hard boiled eggs.  You can hard boil eggs by the dozen and keep them in the refrigerator for the week.  This is a quick and easy snack.  Keep a little seasoned salt nearby to sprinkle on your eggs.  Very portable.
3. Rice cakes with almond butter and apple slices.  This is a great combination.  The rice cakes stay crunchy and the almond butter with the apples taste great together.  Try using sunflower butter as well.  Both almond and sunflower butter have less allergenic than peanut butter.
4. Turkey & cheese roll-ups.  Nitrite free turkey slices coupled with organic cheddar cheese rolled up in a tortilla for a quick and portable after-school or before exercise snack.  You can add a spread of olive/fig tapenade, arugula leaves or spicy mustard to help with the creativity.
5. Sliced raw vegetables.  Red bell peppers, celery, carrot sticks, zucchini, cherry tomatoes, radishes.  Avocado half with a dash of salt and lemon.  Couple with hummus, bean dip, spinach dip or nut butters to add a bit of protein to keep you going through the day.

If you have a favorite healthy snack recipe or recommendation, please share.  You can comment to this post or e-mail the snack to me and I'll post it in the future.  Enjoy!
